An Homage

My towerall is much smaller, but otherwise a shameless copy of the original. I had permission though. Lauren was kind enough to show me how to create the towerall from strips in one of her Improv Studio classes at Harper's (if you're local to KC, you should try to catch one of these - a new improv technique each month).

I did some heavy quilting on this, and boy did it distort the top. It seems spray baste is no match for this kind of texture. I had to trim it a ton to square it up in the end. Maybe I should have pinned it a bunch too.

I backed it with a vintage sheet, 'cause that's how Aunt June rolls. This one is staying with me!
